2-Post Lift Used As Workbench
 ✖  |
“I work on commercial grade push mowers, sod cutters, rear tine rototillers, generators, and so forth that are too heavy to lift by myself onto a work bench. It’s uncomfortable to work on these machines while kneeling or laying on the floor, so I made a wooden platform that rides up or down on a 2-post electric-hydraulic car lift. It lifts the machines to a comfortable work height,” says C.J. Bunce, Perry, Kansas.
He bolted a 4 by 8 sheet of 3/4-in. thick plywood to a pair of 2 by 4’s on edge. He attached 2 push mower wheels to one end of the plywood, and a couple of fold-down metal handles purchased at Home Depot to the other end so he can easily move the platform around.
“I just wheel it over and set it on the lift’s arms, which are about 4 in. off the floor,” says Bunce. “A pair of small wooden blocks serve as a drive-on ramp. I use a remote control to raise the lift to a comfortable standing work height.”
